It doesn't matter if EVERY learned, credentialed scientist believes that God created the universe, the earth and all life on it. That idea is still not science.

We must not be understanding each others points. The idea that God created the universe is not supposed to be science. It is the study of science that causes people to believe that there is a God. Do you understand this point?

You're half right.

The idea that God created the universe is not supposed to be science.

It cannot be falsified, so that's true.

It is the study of science that causes people to believe that there is a God. Do you understand this point?

It is the study of science that causes some people to believe that there is a God. Do you understand this point?

I understand your point. In fact, it is through the study of science that I personally came to believe in God. However, that does not change the fact that creationism is not a scientific theory. If evolution is disproven, then either some other theory will be used to explain the diversity of life or there will be no explanation. Creationism will never be the theory used to explain the diversity of life. It is not science and never will be, even if it is true in its entirety and everyone in the scientific community believes it. That is my point.
